Best Served ICE Than COLD

Warning: Spoilers
One of the series' TEN BEST EPISODES. The beautiful, haunting, animation with wonderful wintery scenes.. The Emmy-winning script. Batman ALONE, "Its my concern." Michael Ansara after Mark Hamill as the Joker the most brilliantly played of Batman's enemies, had a MAGNIFICENT voice (did the Outer Limits classic Soldier the writer sued the Terminator movies claiming plagiarized it). Summer Gleeson showing what she COULD do for an episode WHEN she go the chance, excellent at reporting then beautiful in blue KNOCKOUT at climax party raising the DRAMA of it. This episode of excellence is WHAT first clued in adults that was as much for THEM as kids, repeated in evenings for them. If this at its BEST demonstrates how the first series was so FIRST rate, Cold Comfort showed at its WORST woefully why the second series aimed solely on Saturday morning for NO adult audience was so SECOND-rate--the lowered level animation,, terrible writing turning truly tragic Victor Freeze into 1950's filmatic fiasco They Saved Hitler's Brain like frozen fuhrer head jarringly in jar, infantile infant Robin impersonator DIM Drake and phony poseur BRATgirl ruefully reducing Batman to Bat BABY SITTER, dreadful DUD debut of media mediocrity JERK Ryder shockingly showing sadly Summer GONE wretchedly with insult-to-injury for already appalled audience HamilDULL Hill STAYING, awfully as ALWAYS drearily droning, ONLY the voice work of Kevin Conroy and Michael Ansara retaining the original's quality.
